I believe I would say this is the best Mario game ever and a real contender for game of the year.

Wow I have actually never been a huge fan of Mario. I have always found them fun but never felt compelled to finish them like I would a Zelda game. Well I must say that SMG changed my mind on that because once I started I couldn't put this game down. That was one thing that is disappointing about this game is that it will only take around 15 hours to finish. That is if you get as few stars as possible. You can finish the game with 60 but there are a 120 possible. Lets go ahead and get the other negative points out of the way. The camera while good does frustrate a little at times because you don't always have total control over it. Also the main two bosses get recycled about three times. There are other bosses though. But after those few slightly negative points the rest of SMG is just absolutely brillant.

The level design is amazing in SMG. Each level is on different planets and none feel alike for the most part. The graphics are beautiful. You might question why we had to go to high def when you play this game. Actually what makes the graphics so good is the art work. The amount of thought that went into each level is astounding. Also a player will not become bored because every level can be finished rather quickly. I found this to be very enjoyable because I always felt like I was making progress. The story is very Mario esque. Bowser is trying to control the galaxy and has kidnapped the princess. So you must resue Peach and save the galaxy. Also the Wii controls are implemented nicely. Nintendo didn't overdo it and what they did added to the gameplay.

Overall I think SMG ranks as one of the best games of 2007 and for the first time I actually enjoyed a Mario game as much as a Zelda. If you own a Wii then this game needs to be part of your collection.
